To divorce his wife, the top scholar preferred being cuckolded to wearing a red hat.

Qian went to find Fu Jingsheng in person.

Fu Jingsheng was greeting guests in the front hall.

He is now the son-in-law of the Grand Secretary and a rising star in the dynasty. Whether they are veteran officials or noble families, they will all give him some face.

Therefore, his wedding was attended by quite a few guests. He also wanted to take this opportunity to build relationships with these prominent families and senior officials in the court.

"Son!" Madam Qian rushed over in a panic, her face filled with alarm. "Stop entertaining the guests! Something terrible has happened! Come with me!"

Although Qian was anxious, she also understood that some things were not suitable to be said here.

Even if Su Ziyu were to enter the house pregnant with another child, outsiders would only think that Fu Jingsheng had lost face.

"What's wrong? Did something happen to Ziyu?" Fu Jingsheng was still very concerned about his newlywed wife. Seeing Qian Shi like this, he thought Su Ziyu was seriously ill.

“Something happened to her, you should go and see for yourself,” Madam Qian said softly, glancing around.

Fu Jingsheng nodded and cupped his hands in greeting to the guests: "Please enjoy your meal and drinks. My wife was feeling unwell just now, I'll be right back."

"Go quickly, don't exhaust the bride on the first day, or Lord Su won't forgive you."

"Miss Su collapsed from exhaustion before even having her wedding night." Someone said, sounding depressed.

Qian's expression turned sour as she listened to their words.

Some people were whispering among themselves, talking about the romantic affair that happened a month ago.

Seeing them whispering amongst themselves, Madam Qian's anger flared up instantly: "Everyone must bear witness for us today. We didn't do anything, yet my new daughter-in-law fainted. With such poor health, if anything happens to her in the future, don't blame the Fu family."

It's hard to say whether Su Ziyu is pregnant with someone else's child, but it's true that she fainted as soon as she entered the door.

Qian instinctively wanted to prove that this matter had nothing to do with the Fu family, and that it was just that Su Ziyu was in poor health.

Everyone's expressions became amused as they listened to Qian's words.

Su Ziyu fainted on her very first day at the household, regardless of the reason. Qian Shi, her mother-in-law, instead of showing concern for her health, was trying to distance herself from her. Such a mother-in-law is rare indeed.

"Madam, Miss Su never fainted when she was at her parents' home. She fainted as soon as she entered the house. Is it because she didn't eat anything this morning?" Anyone who has been married knows that the bride cannot eat anything in the morning and must finish all the work on an empty stomach.

Some people can't stand the hunger, so they might faint.

"No, that's not it." In her excitement, Madam Qian forgot the things she couldn't say: "She fainted because she was pregnant."

Upon hearing Qian's words, the guests' pupils dilated considerably, their expressions filled with gossip.

"I'd heard long ago that Miss Su and Lord Fu were already together before she even entered the palace. I thought it was just gossip, but I never expected to hear such a big story while attending a wedding." The War King's gossipy expression made the other guests twitch at the corners of their mouths.

Your Highness, she is, after all, the daughter of the Grand Secretary. It seems inappropriate for her to say such things in public.

Ms. Qian's expression was also quite interesting: "I suspect that she plotted against my son and had already gotten together with another man before my son was born."

As soon as Su's mother entered the room, she heard Qian's words and rushed in angrily: "What are you saying here? Don't talk nonsense in front of so many guests."

According to the regulations of the Southern Li Dynasty, on the day a woman gets married, her relatives and friends from her maternal side can escort her home. Her father cannot come, but her mother can.
